Hi all,
I am trying to extract some text from a HTML page using regex.
<html>
...some code....
<B><FONT color="green">TEXT to BE EXTRACTED 1</FONT></B><br>
<P>
<B><FONT color="green">TEXT to BE EXTRACTED 2</FONT></B><br>
<P>
<B><FONT color="red">TEXT to BE EXTRACTED 3</FONT></B>
....some code....
</html>I want to make a script which will print
TEXT to BE EXTRACTED 1
TEXT to BE EXTRACTED 2
TEXT to BE EXTRACTED 3
from the entire HTMl Page.
Thanks
Before re experts start to give they advices I give the standard answer for HTML: Don't, use for example BeautifulSoup module instead.
As Tony poster regex is not a god choice for html or xml.
This is why paser exist to do this job.
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
html = '''\
<html>
...some code....
<B><FONT color="green">TEXT to BE EXTRACTED 1</FONT></B><br>
<P>
<B><FONT color="green">TEXT to BE EXTRACTED 2</FONT></B><br>
<P>
<B><FONT color="red">TEXT to BE EXTRACTED 3</FONT></B>
....some code....
</html>'''
soup = BeautifulSoup(html)
tag = soup.findAll('font')
for item in tag:
print item.text
'''Output-->
TEXT to BE EXTRACTED 1
TEXT to BE EXTRACTED 2
TEXT to BE EXTRACTED 3
'''thanks all....!!
